Bug Description
Given two series "Sharpe" and "Sharpe Extra", it turns out that "Sharpe Extra" is sorted before "Sharpe" in the catalogue. The same problem occurs with authors, e.g. "Frederik Pohl (ed.)" appears before "Frederik Pohl".
After adding series Sharpe?Extra and Sharpe:Extra to obtain more data, the catalogue contains the following:
<p class="series">
<a class="calibre3" href="part0002.
Sharpe:Extra
</a>
</p>
<p class="line_item">
<span class="prefix">
*
</span>
<span class="entry">
<a class="calibre3">
[1] Sharpe's Skirmish
</a>
</span>
</p>
<p class="series">
<a class="calibre3" href="part0002.
Sharpe?Extra
</a>
</p>
<p class="line_item">
<span class="prefix">
*
</span>
<span class="entry">
<a class="calibre3">
[2] Sharpe's Christmas
</a>
</span>
</p>
<p class="series">
<a class="calibre3" href="part0002.
Sharpe
</a>
</p>
<p class="line_item">
<span class="prefix">
*
</span>
<span class="entry">
<a class="calibre3">
[21] Sharpe's Devil
</a>
</span>
</p>
(It would appear from this that the sorting uses the HREF, so e.g. "part0002.

An addition to the previous bug report: where an author is also an editor, the following situation also arises:
Bill Bryson
The Mother Tongue
Bill Bryson (ed.)
Seeing Further
Bill Bryson
A Short History of Nearly Everything
The books for both "Bill Bryson" and "Bill Bryson (ed.)" appear in correct title order as a whole (The Mother Tongue, Seeing Further, A Short History of Nearly Everything), but are then divided up between "Bill Bryson" and "Bill Bryson (ed.)"

Since GRiker, the person who wrote the epub catalog code is no longer
active, this bug is not likely to get fixed unless someone steps up.
Changing the component for this bug.
